UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 29 – The UK demands Israel end Gaza hostilities, halt West Bank annexation, and commit to a two-state solution or will recognize Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September.
- The British Prime Minister announced on Tuesday that the UK will officially recognize Palestine as a state in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire and takes meaningful action to improve the dire situation in Gaza.
- The announcement came amid increasing pressure both domestically and internationally due to deteriorating humanitarian conditions, following Starmer’s decision to bring his cabinet back from summer break to hold urgent discussions on Gaza.

- Starmer pledged to assess progress before making a final decision at the UN General Assembly, contributing to a broader European effort aimed at reviving a two-state solution and sustainable peace.
